UNSPSC 76122401: Demurrage fee

Compensation paid for detention of a ship, freight car, or other cargo conveyance during loading or unloading beyond the scheduled time of departure.

UNSPSC 76122401 Demurrage fee, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its abstract name and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code cover consulting services for user-fee studies and revenue audits, vending-machine procurement and maintenance, and staffing for child-support initiatives—none of which involve demurrage charges or port-related cargo detention fees. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring demurrage services or fees under this code in current active solicitations. The issuing bodies named in the available records—San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, the City of Phoenix, and the Mississippi Department of Human Services—represent county and city departments and state agencies, but their work products (fee-study consulting, revenue-cycle auditing, vending equipment, and personnel contracting) bear no substantive connection to demurrage or maritime logistics.

The code shows no relevant recent activity. No geographic concentration, no repeat buyers in this commodity space, and no representative demurrage-related solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block. Procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local buying purposes and verify coding accuracy if a specific demurrage or port-delay-fee requirement surfaces in future RFPs or RFQs.
